I went to New Orleans and I fell in love
Don't know how it happened
It's all i can think of
It may be the big easy
It's not easy to leave
I met a pretty lady there, she said, "You'll never go
You have that look in your eye
New Orleans has a hold
It may be the big easy
It's not easy to leave"
My old home caught fire, burned to ash
New Orleans itself
Is almost a thing of the past
It may be the big easy
It's not easy to leave
As I step on my train I think, "I don't wanna go"
May not always be here
And it feels like home
It may be the big easy
It's not easy to leave
I went to New Orleans and I fell in love
Don't know how it happened
It's all I can think of
It may be the big easy
It's not easy to leave
It may be the big easy
It's not easy to leave
